Pharo Management Reviews

Pharo is a small, boutique-like hedge fund manager that occupies a full floor in midtown with great views of Central Park. It has a nice family feel. There is no underlying sense of hierarchy meaning everyone is friends no matter what your position. They only hire the cream of the crop so you're surrounded by extremely intelligent people. The culture is very diverse with people of all ethnicities and backgrounds. They offer great benefits such as: health (about 75% covered by the company), full vision &dental about, maternity leave, generous PTO, free lunch and dinner (depending how late you work), semi-stocked kitchen for breakfast, drinks, and a few snacks (nothing crazy like some companies but still very nice), commuter benefits, gym reimbursement, company wide offsites every 3 to 4 years to places such as Africa & Iceland. The environment is very laid back with a casual dress attire and an open door policy vibe. Very minimal micro managing, if any at all, based on the team you work with.

The culture feels very open and inclusive, with minimal hierarchy and frequent company-wide team activities that bring everyone together, not just individual departments.
